Stay compliant and protected with Strongbox Security
At Strongbox Security, we specialise in keeping businesses and property owners across Manchester safe with professional, BS 5839-compliant fire alarm maintenance services. Whether you're managing a commercial property, a care home, a retail unit or a school, regular maintenance is not just a recommendation – it’s a legal requirement.
Why Fire Alarm Maintenance Matters
Fire alarms are your first line of defence in an emergency – but only if they work correctly. Regular maintenance ensures your system:
- Meets legal and insurance requirements
- Detects threats early and alerts occupants in time
- Reduces false alarms, saving time and money
- Remains compliant with British Standards (BS 5839-1)
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes it your duty to ensure fire alarm systems are maintained in efficient working order. Failure to do so can result in prosecution, invalidated insurance, or worse, putting lives at risk.
What’s included in our fire alarm maintenance service?
At Strongbox Security, our qualified engineers carry out thorough maintenance to keep your system operating at its best. Our services include:
- Full system testing of all detectors and sounders
- Battery inspection and replacement, where necessary
- Cleaning and recalibration of smoke and heat detectors
- Logbook checks and control panel testing
- Checking alarm audibility throughout the premises
- Identification of faults or areas needing attention
- Detailed service reports for compliance and insurance
We maintain all major fire alarm brands and can service both conventional and addressable systems.
How often should fire alarms be serviced?
We recommend maintenance in line with BS 5839-1:
- Weekly user tests to check basic functions
- Professional servicing at least twice per year
- Quarterly servicing for large or complex premises
